El río que cambia. Vicisitudes historiográficas de una fotografía de Emiliano Zapata

Abstract

From the oft-cited photograph of Emiliano Zapata dressed as a charro, a traditional Mexican horseman, with the pro-Madero general’s sash, rifle, cartridge belts, and sable, the text analyzes the methodological work of researchers who in one way or another have approached this iconic image. The pretext of this image allows us to explore not the subject of a monograph, but rather the way history is written on the basis of visual sources. Thus, we add interpretations, points of agreement and divergence, which as a whole are the ingredients for the historian’s kitchen.
